- Applicants whose degree has been conferred at any university other than a New Zealand University will be considered in two categories:

Category 1: applicants from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Germany or Australia must supply an original or certified copy of their university transcript.

Category 2: applicants from any other country must have their transcript verified and assessed with a course by course evaluation by one of the below education evaluators:

- International Students are eligible to apply for this Award, however, tuition fees for International Students will be funded at the same value as that for New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. - International student must attach all previous tertiary study academic transcripts.- Subject to the approval of the Academic Board, a Victoria Graduate Award may be held with any other award apart from an alternative fees scholarship for which the holder is eligible.
